IN CONNECTION WITH THE FILING FOR THIS FACILITY, THE PREVIOUS LICENSEE PERFORMED RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) FIELD STRENGTH MEASUREMENTS THROUGHOUT THE TRANSMITTER SITE AREA TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE ANY AREAS THAT EXCEED THE FCC GUIDELINES FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RF FIELDS. MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE WITH A NARDA MODEL 8718B MEASURING DEVICE. NO AREAS WERE FOUND TO EXCEED THE 200 μW/CM EXPOSURE LIMIT FOR UN-CONTROLLED AREAS AT ANY POINT NEAR THE TOWER SITE. THE SITE IS FENCED AROUND THE BASE OF THE TOWERS, AND POSTED WITH APPROPRIATE RF WARNING SIGNS.

THIS INSTANT APPLICATION SEEKS ONLY TO REPLACE THE CURRENT DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA WITH A NON-DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA OF THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND LOCATION ON THE TOWER STRUCTURE.  AS SUCH, ONLY  MINIMAL CHANGES IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN THE VICINITY OF THE TOWER COMPOUND ARE ANTICIPATED. DESPITE THAT EXPECTATION, THE RF RADIATION LEVEL WILL BE MEASURED AFTER THE OMNI ANTENNA IS INSTALLED TO CONFIRM CONTINUED COMPLIANCE WITH PUBLIC EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.  

THE APPLICANT ALSO CERTIFIES THAT IT, IN COORDINATION WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SITE, WILL REDUCE POWER OR CEASE OPERATION AS NECESSARY TO PROTECT PERSONS HAVING ACCESS TO THE SITE, TOWER OR ANTENNA FROM RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN EXCESS OF FCC GUIDELINES.
